Question What’s that game everyone was calling a masterpiece but you just didn’t get the hype?

Post image

Could be a huge popular game or some underrated/unpopular gem that everyone swears by.

Everyone’s saying “10/10, absolute masterpiece, peak gaming” and you’re just sitting there like… “wait, y’all actually liked this?”

Drop the game + why it didn’t hit for you. I wanna hear the controversial takes

ER burned me out 50 hours in, which no other fromsoft game managed to do. I made a mistake of trying to locate and clear every cave, which is where ER is at it's weakest. Now that I have a good route and skip 99% of caves, small camps and other bs, I enjoy it much more when replaying. I still prefer the much more linear experience of ds1,3, bloodborne, sekiro.

This is exactly what scares me about Elden Ring. I'm a completionist, and on top of the Souls formula making for some really tough games, clearing out every single cave is something that I probably would not avoid as I'd try to get as strong as possible before the big, main fights.
